Functional interaction between Ce-kettin and α-actinin in the body wall muscle. (A) Tropomyosin (a and d), α-actinin (g and j), vinculin (m and p), or myoA myosin heavy chain (s and v) was double-stained with actin (b, e, h, k, n, q, t, and w) in the body wall muscle of control or ketn-1(RNAi) adult worms. Merged images are shown (c, f, i, l, o, r, u, and x). (B) Ce-kettin (a) and actin (b) were immunolocalized in the atn-1(ok84) homozygous worms. (C) Actin filaments in the body wall muscle of the atn-1(ok84) worms with control RNAi (a) or ketn-1(RNAi) (b) were stained with tetramethylrhodamine-phalloidin. Bars, 10 μm (A), 20 μm (B), and 50 μm (C).
